What is the role of liquid junction potential in potentiometry

Accepted Answer

The liquid junction potential is a potential that arises at the boundary between two solutions with different compositions. It is caused by the difference in the mobilities of the ions in the two solutions. In potentiometry, the liquid junction potential can cause an error in the measurement of the cell potential. This error can be minimized by using a salt bridge to connect the two solutions.
